Sharpening Outdoor Edge swing blade

[HoytHntr4]

Anyone have any recommendations on the best sharpening system to sharpen one of these or other blades like it? Have used mine a ton to gut whitetail and make the dorsal cut in critters that I’m doing gutless, but mine is in desperate need of sharpening. Worksharp? Lansky?

Why not just freehand it with a diamond rod?......

For a gutting/skinning blade I use the original handheld worksharp belt, it never needs anything more aggressive than the fine belt and a strop.

Or cheaper version, this one does a number on our fillet knives down on the coast:

Sharpen it by throwing it in the trash and buying a real knife. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Those things are junk.

I don't think is OE swing blade is trash. I like mine I keep mine sharp with the Work sharp.

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker for every blade in my rotation. Weekly touchups on my EDC, and about 10 minutes on my fixed blade in my pack. Simple to learn and fast.
